Forth Rail Bridge Abseil
Thank you!
A HUGE thank you to everyone who participated in the Chest, Heart & Stroke Scotland Forth Rail Bridge Abseil at the beginning of October.
Over 240 of you took part on the day and raised a total of £47,000, with money still coming in.
This amount of money will make a massive difference to the lives of those affected by Chest, Heart & Stroke Illnesses in local communities around Scotland.
The day would not have gone so well if it wasn't for the help of numerous volunteers who made the day possible, along with kind support from the following companies:
Network Rail
Balfour Beatty
The Hawes Inn
The Claremont Bar
SMIT Transport
St Andrews Ambulance
Thank you!

Thanks
Access to this iconic Scottish landmark is only possible due to the generosity of Network Rail - and we are delighted to work with them and Balfour Beatty again to offer you this limited opportunity to abseil from the bridge.
Last year, abseilers raised over £77,000 to support our work throughout Scotland and we are truly grateful to them all and to their sponsors for such generosity.
Your first step
To take part, each abseiler must pledge to raise a minimum of £95 for Chest, Heart & Stroke Scotland in sponsorship. Advance sponsorship of £20 will be needed to confirm your place.
Once you register, we will provide all you need to get your fundraising off the ground, from sponsorship forms to press releases and hints and tips to help rope in your supporters.
All money raised will go to Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland’s services - improving the quality of life for people in Scotland affected by chest, heart and stroke illness, through medical research, advice and information, and support in the community.
